2329 Light.... love activity.... higher development....

May 10, 1942: Book 32

Man's degree of love is decisive for his spiritual higher development both on earth and in the beyond. Higher development is an increase in wisdom and strength, thus the life of love, i.e. a life of active love, must bring knowledge and strength to the being.... the being must become the recipient of light and strength from God and thus be in the circuit of God's emanation of love, Who is light and strength in Himself. Thus the activity of love will only have a purely spiritual effect, no earthly success can be recorded, but only the soul is the recipient of the goods which the life of love brings in. Consequently, these possessions are also the soul's share in the beyond, and the soul's degree of maturity depends on the abundance of possessions which the human being has acquired on earth and takes with him into the kingdom of the beyond. For if the soul has received much, if it has great wealth to record, then it will also be able to distribute accordingly.... it stands in the light itself and can let the light radiate, i.e. pass on light and strength for its own happiness. And again, this is an activity of love that brings it an increased degree of maturity, and so the soul strives ever higher, in the light towards the primordial light.... The abundance of light accessible to it is incomprehensible to the human being, yet light is the epitome of the spiritual kingdom which has God-connected beings as its inhabitants.... And it is God's immense grace that people on earth are already allowed to participate in this abundance of light, that they can receive light and strength if they are willing and open their hearts, that the light flows to them in the form of knowledge and this in turn gives them the strength to develop themselves upwards, i.e., to be able to work with increased love....

Amen
